IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDAV, 1114 r 8. Earl SHAFTESBURY tdisis his teat on the Woolsack as Deputy Speaker at Five o'Clock, avSn the several Bills on the table were ad vanced a stage. Lord MARYBOROUGH presented a petition from the Grand Jury Of Queens County, praying that the relief to be given under the Irish Poor Law Bill might be confined to the lame and blind, POOR LAW LOAN BILL. 01 4 11 0 Motion of the Earl of RADNOR the above Bill was read a second time. The Bistop of EXE TER presented a petition from the Baptist Con.. 8r Then of Manchester, and several other places, praying for the im. Ulorliate abolition of the system of Negro apprenticeship. The Ar rortNey-GENEner. and others, from the Commons, brought up the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway Bill. The Marquis of SLIGO presented numerous petitions, praying for he abolition of the system of Negro apprenticeship in the West Indies. CATHOLIC OATHS. The Duke of WELLINGTON, seeing a Noble Earl in his place who had given notice of a motion on the above subject, wished to know Whether be intended to take the opinion of the House upon the sub. jest, If s; he begged to suggest that the Noble Earl should state his Lutention that night, and bring on his motion on a future day. The Earl of SHREWSBURY said his intention was to show, in mos*. og for the papers, that the oath had not been repudiated at me, and lie did not mean to take the sense of the House by a resolution or otherwise. He would there ore bring the subject Under the notice of the House that night. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from Clar t e, in Suffolk, theed by 5,000 p ersons, stating that the petitioners viewed with alarm e ncroachments of Popery, and praying that their Lordships would repeal the Relief Bill of 18.9, and that they would not agree to any further grant to the College cf Maynooth. Lord BERESFORD presented a petition from the Grand Jury of the !P.RhtY of Carlow praying that all relief should be confined in IreLnd to the s'ck, the aged, and infirm. Lord LORTON presented a politico from a place in the county cf Antrim against the new system of education In Ireland. CATHOLICS' OATHS. The Earl of SHREWSBURY apologised to the House for troubling t for a few moments. The Noble Earl then proceeded to read an ex ttract from a Roman Catholic document, to the effect that Roman Catho enwere quite justified in taking the o a th o f 1829 . Th e N o bl e E ar l nex t an extract fro m a d ocument from the ` o Vicar's Apostolic," showing, read the Pop. did not approve of the formula of the oath of 1829, he did not condemn the taking it. He read a letter from Dr. Murray len the same subject, which stated that though the Roman Catholic Pre ates did not condemn the oath—though he, as an individual, must say th at he thought it unnecessary and insulting—he thought it quite clear that the oath in question was as effectual now as it was at the first. He must express his regret that men could be found to bring forward such serious charges against against a large body of Christians oresuch loose ! an d slender grounds. It was, he suspected, touch mere painful to dm (the Earl of Shrewsbury) to hear such charges than it was to the Rev. Prelate to utter them. They were degrading and insulting. He would not disgui se f rom their Lordships that his conviction was, that their Lord_ chips -e their own must eitherdisfranchise ths Catholics altogether, or allow them to ex. interestsas to what was or what was judgment of the Cherch. Heaven knows that there were dissensions e enou ghalready a mong religious bodies, without giving new causes for dissensio n. The Noble Earl then proceeded to remark in severe terms on the con duct of the Right Rev. Prolate in systematically traducing the Roman Catholics. All the calumnies of three centuries were now i st raatkeehtl up and charged on that body of Christians. The Right Rev. Pre. gedd the Rom a n C a th o li c p r i es th oo d ac labouring to deroyad even m t he obligation s o f an oath. Others, again, had got up meet i ngs for the purpose of vilif y i ng the religion of one-third of the inha bi tants of th is ernpire, where no one was allowed to gainsay or expose their calum. flies and misrepresentati ons. These calumnious aspers i ons on th e R o . lean Catholic religion carried folly and absurdity in their face. That religion was embraced by 150,000,000 of men, many 4/1 ' Europe, of them the most 1 and had that religion been so vicious as retire. aented, they would never have adopted its principles. He implored of, their Lordships to discountenance and put an end to these c unk inlY feelin gs and unjustifiable misrepresentations, that men orge atlilwdr.enqininations might thus live in harmony and happiness The Noble Earl then proceeded to point out the doubtful c t learacte r of some of those persons two or three hundred years ago, whom Rhethan night Rev. Prelate had quoted in support of his statement, that the Catholics were persons of suspicious loyalty. He also showed t hat the Right Rev. Prelate had again perverted quotations. The Ri g ht I t• v. Prelate had brought discredit on himself, instead of fixing odium the Catholics, Roman thecharges he brought against the latter. 11is (the Bishop of Exeter's) intention in referring to the alleged mis. eaelduct of the Roman Catholics of two or three hundred years ago, was te leael their Lordships to believe that the same charges might be brought against the Roman Catholics of the present day. He had tortured the - f alse and frantic ravings of some men into a charge against millions of Christians; and lie (the Earl of Shrewsbury) must say that he neither e nvied the end he had in view, nor the means he adopted to accomplish that end. He would ask whether the number of mistakes the Right ' l ey. Prelate had fallen into had been the result of accident ? He Nvould now move for copies of letters, the opinions expressed by the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland, relative to the Catholic oath of 1829. Lord VAUX comp l a i ned of the way in which the Right Rev. there made attack s o n the R oman C a th o li cs o f suc h a nature that was no possibility of answering them. If he did not think the Presem sufficiently binding, why did he not propose some better and More effective oath. The Bishop of EXETER did not complain of any harshness in the O bservations which had been made in reference to him ; but he was surprised that the Noble Earl should have charged him with imputing 44 3' disregard of oaths to him ; for it must be recollected that he had been specially careful to guard against any one supposing that he .'cant anything of the kind.—(hear, hear, hear.) He had stated distinctly that he was satisfied no one could be more careful in the observance of the Roman Catholic oath of 1829 than he was, or any other oat? which he would engage himself to observe. The Right Reeserend I'relate then proceeded to state and quote various extracts from em:nent Catholic authors of the 17th century to shew that the Roman Catholics did not in all cases consider oaths to be binding. The Noble Earl had endeavoured to fasten upon him wil. ful inaccuracy or suppression of documents; but an opponent was prone to make a false estimate of the arguments of his adversary. He (the Bishop of Exeter), however, in order to prove what he had asserted, would not go back to the oaths of :James I. or Charles I. Ho Would begin with the present state of the law of the coun til. In the reign of George 111. was the first time there had been a =emission of the penal statutes, and oaths in reference to this were pre. scribed by the 13th George 111. The Right Rev. Prelate then 'entered into long details respecting Catholic oaths and dispensations. 14 considered that the documents he had read proved that the power of 'she Pope was recognised to declare what oaths were lawful, and that he mould dispense with them when they were contrary to the utility of the Church. The Noble Earl had stated that he (the Bishop of Exeter) wag wrong in his charge as to bad faith kept in Ireland as to the oath of s upremacy ; but let bins read the history of the Irish civil wars, and he would find if that were the case. He would now say a word as to him self and his opinions as to this country, and that unhappy one beyond St. George's Channel, and in this respect he would only say, that he was as sincerely desirous of peace in these countries as the Noble Earl could be, but he would not whisper " peace," when there was none, and there Could be none, until truth and honesty were permitted to prevail. (Rear, hear.) Lord STOURTON complained of the observations that had been re • Peatedly made as to the disregard by the Roman Catholic.; of the obli. Ration of oaths. , -- ---- the Marl of WINCHILtiBi and Lord LoaroN made a few observation., after which Lord MELBOURNE said that the papers asked for consisted of a ~,t .carresP ondence with ecclesiastics, private letters. To produce then ~"..°llld be a very unusu a l c our s e , an d a ver y I nconven i ent prece d en t. If I`7shre adopted, then any Noble Lord would only have to writo a letter, wtw afterwards to move for it, and then it would be produced and printed ho sanction of the House. He was quite sure that all would see 'en oeonient it would be to adopt any such motion. eh I Earl of SHREWSBURY, after h av i ng b r i e fly re pli e d , sa id h e Vrad press his motion.—Motion ,aa7te Bills having been brought• from withdrawn. the Commons, and the re business being disposed of, the House adjourned at Eight IIOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 8.

Mr. WILL IAMS denied that he 1; ,, ,X1 ever participated in any j o b s o f Corporation cf London. 5110 Dlr. 'WARBURTON had been g,enera me in ely are to the ea. of Proposal by hi s H onoura b le Fr i en d th is Memb er f or t h e City 1- " 4 ". So far as the proposition vent to widen the streets or Abe City of re diea - -m he had no objection whatever, but he deeidedly e lakucee c e to the manner in which the money was to he levied. If it was 1 ), "° " to lay a tax by A ct of Par li ament upon th e f reemen an d the t eoa- fre e , ate n, he would not complain ; but this was an attempt to con °Al,'dsivay-tlie Levying eta tax upOn the carts of the non-freemen. He thought the House was indebted to his Hon. Friend the Member for Coventry for having brought under their notice the clause in question. Mr. HUME thought it important that these improvements should be carried into effect and it was rather a premature step to prevent the Bill going into Committee, when other means for levying the tax might be devised. He would suggest to the Hen. Gentleman the propriety of al lowing the Bill to go into Committee, when the clause might be modified. Sir F. TRENCH quite agreed with what had fallen from his Hon. Friend the Member for Kilkenny—(A laugh)—and hoped the Bill would be allowed to go into Committee. Mr. WILLIAMS said if the Hon. Baronet nominated him upon the Committee, he would have no objection to withdraw his amendment. Mr. WA K LEY could not understand why it was that this 13111 had not been sent before the Metropolitan Improvement Committee in the first instance.—(Hear, hear.) Although he was anxious the improve. ment should be made, he could not agree to the clause in its present shape being allowed to stand in the Bill, and therefore he would not vote against the Bill being referred to the Committee, because as he would be one of the Committee, he should resist any scheme of the kind. Mr. HANDLEY should oppose the Bill going into Committee. After a few observations from Captain WOOD and Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL, The gallery was cleared for a division. No division took place, the amendment having been negatived with. out a division. Mr. HAWES moved that the Bill be canmited to a private Com mittee. Mr. WARBURTON thought that there would be great difficulties in referring the Bill to a private Committee. He thought the better course to adopt would be to postpone the committal of the Bill till the Committee on Public Improvements in London could take it into consi deration. He moved that the Bill be committed that day three months. The SPEAKER suggested that the motion be for the adjournment of the debate to that period. Mr. WARBURTON accordingly so framed his motion. Alderman WOOD said he thought the Committee on Metropolitan Improvements would not be able to find a more advantageous oflbr, than was made by the Corporation to defray the expenses of the proposed al teration from their own funds. Sir G. STRICKLAND considered the public greatly indebted to the Hon. Baronet (Sir M. Wood) for his exertions to effect Metropolitan Improvements; and he (Sir G. S) should support this Bill. Captain WOOD thought the Hon. Baronet, the Member for the City of London, had been treated most ungraciously by the Hon. Members opposite. The proposition was to make a fine street, and for that pur pose a tax was bo be levied upon carts entering the City with provi sions. To that he thought no reasonable objection could be made. _ _ . Sir DE LACY EVANS supported the second reading of the Bill. Mr. SLANEY was of opinion that it would benefit the adjacent dis tricts, as well as more immediately those resid:ng within the narrow precincts of the line through which the road would run. As it would be of great advantage to the humbler classes of the community, be would decidedly support it. Mr. WILLIAMS said the Middlesex Magistrates had refused to take any steps in the matter, although frequent applications had been made to them by the Corporation of London for that purpose. Alderman COPELAND would give his decided support to the Bill. Sir M. WOOD replied—The Magistrates of Middlesex, at a large meeting lately held, had expressed a desire that the measure should be carried. The amendment was negatived without a division. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1838. PUBLICATIONS. This day was published, NI T A L L A An Historical Tragedy, in Five Acts.

The Decencies of English Life. Henry Colburn, Pnblislter, 1 SEIZURE BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMEMT. Dr. LUSHINGTON, seeing the Noble Secretary of State for the Foreign Department in his place, wished to ask a question re lative to the seizure of certain ships be:ongin,g to her Ma. jesty's dominions on the coast of Africa. In the month of July, 834, there were two vessels carrying on trade on the coast of Africa; and he was informed that two French vessels of war then came down ; that they attempted to compel the English vessels to sail from the coast; that they seized the guns that were being put on board, and ultimately seized the British vessels themselves. In the month of Fe bruary, 1835, a blockade was attempted to be imposed on that coast by the French Government. A vessel, called the Eliza, and other vessels in the trade belonging to her Majesty's Government, were then seized. The question he wished to ask was, whether or net the Government had preferred a claim against the French Government for reparation, and whether there was any immediate prospect of its being brought to a speedy conclusion ? Upon the answer he received would depend whether he might think it necessary to make any motion on that subject. Lord PALMERSTON said that it was quite true, as stated by the Hon. Member, that certiln vessels belonging to British subjects had been interrupted in their commerce at the Ports he had stated. The first was antecedent to a blockade, and the latter after it. He presumed that it was not the wish of the Learned Gentleman that he (Lord Palmerston) should enter into the details of the transactioa ; hut he could state that application having been made to the British Government, they applied to the French Government for corn. pensation.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") That had been under the consideration of the French Government fur some time; a reply was made, which was submitted by him to the claimants; and a short time ago a communication was made by the English ambassador at Paris; to that communication he had not yet received any reply, communicating the final determination of the French Government, but at the same time he must say, believing as he did that the claim was founded in justice, he could not persuade himself that the French Government would not give it the consideration to which it was entitled. Dr. LUSHINGTON would wait a short time to see what the effect of any communication would be; and if it was not as favourable as he expected, he should bring the subject before the House. Sir E. WILMOT postponed his motion for the entire abolition of Slavery to the t'Ad of May. Mr. JA MES gave notice that on the 16th of May he should move for Ecclesiastical returns. Mr. JACKSON gave netice that on the 22d of May he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law with respect to the Regii. try of Votes in Ireland. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS. Lord MAHON said he would move his resolution en this subject, as an amendment to Sir R. Peel's Bill, upon the same question. FIRST FRUITS AND TENTHS. Mr. BAINES then rose to move for a Select Committee to consider the propriety of abolishing the first fruits, and for the more effectual rating, and the better collection of the tenths, for the poorer clergy. He feared he could not propitiate the House by promising to trespass but a short time on their attention. The subject was one involving the most important considerations with regard to a most influential and useful body of men, the working clergy. He had followed the example of the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire in his Irish Church Temporalities Bill of 1833 in moving for a select Committee. (The Hon. Member proceeded to give the history of first fruits and tenths, commencing from the time of the crusades, in which they were converted to the purpose of carrying on the holy war, down to the reign of Queen Anne, when they were diverted from State purposes, and ordered to be applied to the augmentation of the livings of the poorer Clergy.)—From that time to the present he (Mr. Baines) was sorry to say they had not been so applied. The benevolent intention of that Princess was not put into execution, and the First Fruits and Tenths Act was in reality a miserable failure.—(Hear, hear.) By a return of the Ecclesiastical Commission there were at present eleven livings in the Church Establishment of the value of Only 10/. per an num, nineteen of from 101. to 20/., thirty-one of from 201. to 301., sixty-three of from 30/. to 401., and 172 of from 401. to 501. That was, 296 livings under 501. a year, and this after 130 years' opera.. tion of the Act for the augmentation of poor livings. There were be. sides thirty livings of from 501. to 60/. per annum; 317 of from 601. to 70/., 250 of front 70/. to 80/., 355 of from 801. to 90/., and 390 of from 901. to 1001., making 1,912 livings in the best endowed Church in the world of under 100/. per annum. Of livings between 100/. and 1501. there were 1,602, and between 1501. and 200/., 1,354., so that there were, in fact, 4,868 livings under the value of 2001. yearly. He found also that there were 5,230 curaeies averaging 91/. per annum. This, he considered, was a proof of tke failure of the Act, and the reason why it had failed was, because the governors had not done their duty, or fulfilled their trust. They had put a construc tion upon some words of the Act which they were not intended to bear, whereby the first fruits were paid according to the valuation of livings made in the reign of Henry the Eighth, altogether to the benefit of the richer Clergy, and to the deprivation of the poorer. When any law pressed grievously on one part of the people it was the duty of Parliament to relieve them of it. According to these statements there could only be left a sum of eighteen shillings for each Clergyman, and this from a bounty which Queen Anne and her Bishops intended should afford a sufficient maintenance. He proposed, theft, as a remedy for these abuses, the entire abolition of all first ftmits, except in the cases of those Clergymen who were at present in possession of benefices, as they had cast their expenditure on a scale conformable with their income, which to affect by these means would be a serious injustice. He also proposed to deduct all livings above 300/. a-year from the aggregate amount of all the benefices in the country, by which means a fund would be created which would leave for every Cler gyman an income of at least 1001. a-year. A Committee had last year been appointed which had recommended the same plan. The Hon. Member then read letters to show the deplorable penury in which many of the poorer Clergy were, many of whom were living on 401. or 501. z.year, and quoted from papers in his possession to prove the alterations which had taken place in the value of livings, many instances of which he particularly referred to. The Hon. Gentleman then contended that no proportionate amount of tenths had been taken from these increased livings, and read a statement of the incomes of the Bishops, showing that in the time cf Queen Anne and Bishop Burnet the payment of first fruits and tenths was 16,0001. a year, whereas they now only amounted to 13,0001, being a deficiency of 25 per cent in the present reign as compared with that of Queen Anne. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for a Committee of the whole House to take into considera tion the propriety of abolishing the First Fruits of the Clergy of Eng land and Walis, and the more effectually rating and better collection of the tenths applicable to the maintenance of the poor Clergy. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—If the motion had for its object a more equal distribution of Church property among the community at large he would, perhaps, have been ready to give his attention to it ; but then the question they would have to consider would have been a very different one, for it would be wholly independent of anything arising out of the first fruits, the tenths, and the statutes of Queen Anne. The fact was that the Hon. Gentleman had confonnded two thing; which were perfectly distinct—viz., the abstract question with the ques. tion of right under the statute of Anne. It was clear that the Clergy now enjoyed all those rights under the statute of Anne which the statute of Henry V 111. gave to the Crown. There was no doubt that some livings bad increased incredibly owing to a variety of circumstances, but still as this was a fixed fund, collected according to a given rate, he must on that ground give his opposition to the motion of his Hon. Friend. Mr. G. KNIGHT said than he felt himself called upon to give his humble support to the motion of the Hon. Member fur Leeds. An•Horr. MEMBER here moved that the House should be counted. The gallery was cleared for a division, but there being more than 40 Members present was re-opened.. Mr. HUME hoped his Hon. Friend the Member for Leeds would not go to division. It would be perfectly useless, as the proceedings on the Benefices Pluralities Bill showed that the Government would not listen to common sense, although they were ready enough to act against it. If the wealth of the Church were properly applied, it would be sufficient for all Church purposes; but the Government alone were to blame for re sisting thb propositions which had been made to make that property available without injury to any one. It would therefore be a farce for his Hon. Friend to proceed any further with his motion. Mr. GOULBURN entirely concurred in what had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Solicitor-General, and objected to the view taken on the subject of first fruits and tenths :by the Hon. Member for Leeds. He denied that Parliament had any authority or power to take those imposts for th e p urpose o f app l y i ng the money to the lise awayof poor clergymen. He would conclude by repeating his opposition to this motion. The gallery was then cleared for a division, and the numbers were— For the m,,tion ...... ......... 48 Against it - - Majority for the motion —2l On the re-admission of strangers Vf3 found, Mr. BAINES that the Spe.akerdo !cave the the chair, in ordLr to the House going into Committee. Sir R. INGLIS rc•se to oppose the motion. The views which he had been on it former occasion prepared to express on this subject wei e those which he would at present take of the question before the House. By the arrangement proposed by the Hon. Member for Leeds a pro_ Lerty tax was to be levied emelusively on one class of her Majesty's subjects. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had voted with the minority on the last division and on the grounds stated by the Solicitor_General, but he would not, after the division, concur in the motion against the Speaker leaving the chair, but he thought that the Hon. Member for Leeds ought not to press the motion for going into Committee at present. The Speaker then left the chair, and the House went into Committee. The first resolution was then read at the table, and was as follows : " Resolved, that it is expedient that a better provision for the main tenance of the poor Clergy of the Established Church of England and Wales should be afforded than that which at present exists, to be de rived from the revenues of the said Church." Mr. ESTCOURT would move as an amendment that the Chairman, before the Committee came to any decision on the resolution, should re port progress and ask leave to sit again. He thought it impossible that any such proposition as that of the Hon. Member for Leeds should ever meet the concurrence of the House. The House had been taken by surprise, as many Members had gone away expecting that the propose. tion would not be carried. Now, if there was any proposition more ob jectionable than another it appeared to him to be this—that all Church property should be subjected to taxation. It had been stated . that out of ten thousand four hundred livings there were four thousand three hundred which did not pay this tax. Now the Hon. Member did not merely propose to extend this additional tax to all of this four thousand three hundred, but to all of 300/. per annum or upwards. He thought nothing could better show the unjustifiable nature of the arrangement he proposed. After a few words from Mr. Hume, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Cayley, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Freshfield, Dr. Nicholl, end Mr. Hindley, the question was put, and the amendment that the Chairman should report progress was carried. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the House resumed. Mr. BAIN - ES then stated that he would to-morrow name a day when they might take the resolutions into consideration. Mr. IJUME moved for copies of the several Acts of the Legislature of Upper Canada in the last session, for the preservation of the peace, and for the trial of persons charged with insurrection and revolt against the Government of the province, stating the dates on which the several Bills received the Royal sanction. Lord J. RUSSELL'S motion for naming a Committee on Church leases was postponed until tomorrow. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Ten o'Clock. THE TWO GRAND HORTICULTURAL FETES of the ROYAL SOCIETY of HORTICUL TURE, SATURDAY', May 19, and SATURDAY, June 16, under the PATRONAGE of HER MAJESTY, will take place in the beautiful grounds and apartments of Cremorne House, King' s - road, instead of the usual place.
